Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trashy gossip, but delicious
Review: This book contains a lot of unsubstantiated gossip about skaters, and the author has apparent biases towards, and against, specific skaters, but it gives a very insiteful view of the insides of the skating world. It is well written and very interesting, and I recommend it highly to anyone interested or participating in competitive skating.

This book is a seminal skating book, EVERYONE I know in skating has read it and has their own opinions about what it contains. It's a must read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This gives a good view of the inside of the sport!
Review: This gives a one way look into the sport. People need to know that this can happen, but many figure skaters don't train that way. I know that I don't. If you are thinking about going into figure skating, you need to know the risks involved.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Go Inside the Skating World...
Review: Though I'm not a figure skater, this book was very interesting and held my attention. Chritine Brennan takes you on a journey into the secret parts of figure skating. Find out about what makes them want to keep going, why the parents can be so pushy, eating disorders in the sport, figure skating's scoring process, and tons of secret and insider information on the magical world of figure skating. Tons of revealing information and secrets that anyone will find interesting. This book is more like a figure-skating version of "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes". Must-read for all figure skaters, fans, and coaches.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Two thumbs down! Way down!
Review: Unfortunately, this review won't allow for a rating of zero. I have just one word to describe this book: TRASH!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best skating book I have ever read!
Review: When I first saw this book, I expected it to be a "Little Girls In Pretty Boxes" -type bashing of the sport. As I began to read I realized it was nothing of the sort. You can tell the author really knows and loves the sport. Reading "Inside Edge " is like being a fly on the shoulder of several top skaters. Christine Brennan writes like she was talking to you!
